Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a device for limiting inter-vehicle time. It also relates to the coupling of such a device with the speed limitation system of the vehicle thus equipped.
  • the device for limiting the speed of a motor vehicle or road vehicle is known.
  • the speed limiter is a disconnectable device that prevents exceeding a speed recorded by the driver.
  • the driver remains free to maintain his acceleration.
  • the limiter comprises means giving the accelerator pedal a first active race to a hard point.
  • the system constantly compares the speed of the vehicle with the speed recorded by the driver and when it is reached the system limits the acceleration so as not to exceed said recorded speed.
  • the passage of the hard point allows the driver to override the limitation imposed by the system.
  • a speed limitation device does not prevent the driver of the vehicle from traveling within safety distances, which correspond to an inter-vehicle time below a certain generally recommended threshold of two seconds.
  • the inter-vehicle time is defined as the time taken by a vehicle to travel the distance separating the front of the vehicle from the rear of the preceding vehicle on the same track.
  • a motor vehicle speed control or regulation system which controls a throttling valve to allow the vehicle to always drive at a high speed. predetermined desired.
  • the system has a laser radar which makes it possible to detect the existence of a preceding vehicle and to measure the distance to which it is located, and an electronic control computer in which a given reference distance as a function of the speed of the vehicle is set.
  • the computer When the distance separating the vehicle from the one preceding is greater than the given reference distance, the computer reduces the predetermined predetermined speed in the case where the proximity to the preceding vehicle is noted several times continuously and the computer increases the predetermined speed in the case where no proximity is found, and when the distance is less than the given reference distance, the computer decelerates the vehicle by directly controlling the throttling valve in the direction of closure, thereby allowing the vehicle to follow the previous vehicle with a predetermined reference distance.
  • a first object of the present invention is to provide a method of limiting inter-vehicle time, which prevents a driver from following too closely a vehicle in front of him.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of limiting the inter-vehicle time, coupled to the method, known per se, of speed limitation. Indeed, the safety distance is even greater than the speed is high; therefore, the limitation of both vehicle time and speed is in the direction of enhanced road safety.
  • a signal is sent to the man-machine interface of said first vehicle to inform, via said interface, the driver of said first vehicle of the current engine torque limitation.
  • said predetermined reference vehicle time value and said predetermined reference speed value are recorded by the driver by means of said man-machine interface.
  • the distance measuring means of the distance between the front of said first vehicle and the rear of said second vehicle is a distance sensor mounted in front of said first vehicle.
  • said distance sensor is a "Lidar” type laser beam emission sensor.
  • said torque limiting signal of said first vehicle is a signal sent by said central computer to an engine control computer mounted on said first vehicle.
  • the general reference vehicle 1 designated "first vehicle” is the vehicle equipped with the time limiter system according to the invention.
  • the vehicle 2 is the vehicle, designated "second vehicle”, is the “target vehicle”, which precedes the vehicle 1, in its lane.
  • a distance sensor 3 At the front of the vehicle 1 is installed a distance sensor 3, which measures the distance referenced “d” between the front of the vehicle 1 and the rear of the vehicle 2.
  • the distance sensor 3 uses a laser beam said LIDAR beam (acronym for "Light Detection and Ranging"), referenced 4.
  • a speed sensor 9 is mounted on the vehicle 1 to calculate the instantaneous speed V1 of the vehicle 1.
  • a man-machine interface 8 which allows the driver to record desired data.
  • reference such as the maximum speed VMAX and the reference vehicle time TSEUIL
  • the engine control computer 7 which manages the ignition and the injection of the engine, and which can, therefore, limit the engine torque.
  • This value of instantaneous vehicle time TIV is carried out, in a manner known per se, by an electronic device which is preferably integrated with the referenced central computer. 6. It is an iterative process of instantaneous measurements, made possible by the continuous measurements of V1 and TIV, and the continuous operation of the programmed computer 6.
  • the driver adjusts the inter-vehicle time threshold SSE below which he does not wish to drive with the man-machine interface referenced 8 of the vehicle 1., which value is transmitted to the comparison means integrated into the computer 6.
  • the man-machine interface 8 is the means of exchange between the vehicle and its occupants or stakeholders.
  • the computer 6 which integrates a comparison or comparator means, in the form of a programming element for example, then compares the instantaneous value of TIV with the value of TSEUIL and if this instantaneous value of TIV is equal to TSEUIL, the computer 6 informs the engine control computer (CCM), referenced 7, to limit the engine torque so that the TIV passes below TSEUIL. In parallel, the driver is informed by the man-machine interface 8 of the current limitation of the TIV.
  • CCM engine control computer
  • the CCM is the onboard electronic unit, known per se, which manages the ignition and sometimes the injection of the engine of the vehicle.
  • the system stops the limitation of the engine torque and the driver regains control of the vehicle.
  • the present invention also relates to the coupling of the two functions of speed limitation of the vehicle and inter-vehicle time.
  • the driver records two setpoints: a maximum speed VMAX not to be exceeded and, as is the case in the description which precedes a minimum time TSEUIL inter-vehicle below which it does not wish not ride. These two recordings are made using the man-machine interface 8 of the vehicle 1 and sent to the computer.
  • the computer compares the values of TIV and V1, measured in a manner similar to that already described above, to TSEUIL and VMAX, respectively; If one of the two limits is reached, the computer 6 informs the CCM 7 to limit the engine torque to not exceed this limit. In parallel, a signal is sent to the man-machine interface 8 to inform the driver of the current limitation.
  • the means for calculating the instantaneous value of the inter-vehicle time TIV by the dividing operation are integral parts of the central computer 6, but could be separate means on the vehicle 1.
